Windows 10 includes the “Reset Your PC” option, which resets your Windows to the default factory configuration. This option is used to quickly fix Windows errors that otherwise can only be fixed by reinstalling Windows. Resetting your PC is a faster approach to repairing Windows than reinstalling Windows from scratch. But what happens if the option Reset your PC does not work now, while you are resetting your PC, you get the error message “There has been a problem resetting your PC” and after the restart you can no longer boot on Windows.

Execute Bootrec commands at the command prompt
If the repair at startup does not resolve the error “There has been a problem resetting your PC”, we recommend that you execute the “bootrec” commands at the command prompt. Executing these commands allows users to repair the corrupted or corrupted Master Initialization Record (MBR). The purpose of the Master Boot Record is to tell the BIOS where to look for the operating system so that your computer can start it. You must execute a total of three commands to repair the corrupted or corrupted MBR, write a new boot sector to the system partition, and recreate the boot configuration data. To execute these commands, follow the same steps to launch the Automatic Repair screen. Once there, go to Troubleshooting, then return to Advanced Options. In the Advanced Options window, select Command Prompt.
